The country was built on Protestant principles, not Catholic. There are too many Catholics as is on the court (there is currently only one Protestant). Unfortunately Protestant groups are almost as subverted as the Catholics.
The problem with Catholics is that they have always had the institutional vice of wanting to matter politically. That makes many of them (especially in leadership) sacrifice on important issues when it comes to saving public face or catering to the zeitgeist of the day. And looking at the current Pope... does indeed not inspire confidence.
Her adoption of Haitian kids is a really good window into her mindset. It shows that she is a trend follower, as adopting super poor foreign black kids was fad for upper middle, and rich white women in the 90's and 00's. Think of Hollywood actresses such as Angeline Jolie. It also shows that she is a virtue signaler, essentially saying "I'm not racist, I adopted a black kid!" As with all virtue signals, it comes from a lack of virtue (as an actually virtuous individual does not need to loudly proclaim that they are virtuous) and a guilty conscience. Finally it shows that she is manipulable by the leftist media.
Not too happy about it. She's got 3 strikes as far as I'm concerned. 1. Female, 2. Catholic, 3. poor black kid adoptions. Hard pass.

It was guaranteed to be a woman last week, so you were always going to have that first strike.
